Chapter 396 Make Some Comments
The pattern-carved door of the main living room had been shut by Secretary He so that other people couldn’t see Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu, giving them some privacy to chat away and learn more about each other.
Old Master Song believed that they would not be embarrassed due to his granddaughter’s ability to get along well with others. More importantly, they used to be friends when they were young, and they could chat away about something interesting from their childhood. Qin Sheng didn’t look like a nerd anyway.
"Ran Ran, what do you think of Yu’er? You’re about to be her sister-in-law. I hope that you can take care of her, rather than abuse her." Old Master Song’s joke flustered the other ones, thinking that their Old Master was determined to let Song Ruyu marry Qin Sheng regardless of other people’s and even Yu’er’s opinion.
Qin Ran became still, flustered by Old Master Song’s direct words. She hesitated to answer, thinking of Lin Su, Qin Sheng’s girlfriend. But honestly, she was content with Song Ruyu.
"Grandfather Song, I think that it depends on their own opinions. We shouldn’t force them," Qin Ran expressed tactfully.
Old Master Song offered a smile and said, "This engagement was made by your grandfather and me for the better future of both our families. I had hoped that you could marry Hesheng, but you didn’t. Now it’s Qin Sheng and Ruyu. Though I haven’t met him in about 20 years, I’m quite satisfied with him. I have an eye to judge people with, which was taught to me by your grandfather. As for Yu’er, I’ll talk with her. Of course, they should both agree to the marriage. I’m not that stubborn."
Qin Ran was anxious but still offered a smile. "You’re right, Grandfather Song. But Ruyu’s too good to be Qin Sheng’s wife."
"You don’t have to worry. Yu’er is too picky, but she has to marry someone." Old Master Song giggled. He was confident about his control over the Song Family, and nobody dared to disobey him. He knew his granddaughter well and was sure that he would persuade her.
Qin Ran didn’t continue for fear of annoying Old Master Song or other people of the Songs. Whilst the men from the Songs all sighed silently, thinking that Ruyu wouldn’t refuse if Old Master insisted. She had been obedient and fancied nobody.
Song Hesheng felt sick by this but couldn’t do anything about it. He had asked Ruyu about her opinion on marriage and her answer had shocked him. He was not sure whether or not it was a good thing for his cousin to be so excellent.
Outside the living room, in the yard, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu had no idea of what was happening. Song Ruyu made some guess in her mind, while Qin Sheng knew nothing at all. So the chat was going on without any awkward feelings. If Qin Sheng knew something, he might have done something to annoy the Songs.
"So you’ve been in Xi’an? I’ve been there a couple of times. I like the Beilin Museum and recommend it to my friends a lot. Unfortunately, most people prefer popular tourist attractions, rather than this kind of place embodying traditional culture." Song Ruyu asked something about Qin Sheng’s past and wondered why the Qin Family didn’t find him.
Since she mentioned the Beilin Museum, considering the Chinese classics collection there, Qin Sheng was surprised by this woman’s special taste and had good feelings about her. She had great accomplishments, and her elegant aura and unique name indicated this. She was different from those gorgeous barbie dolls.
Qin Sheng grinned. "I never expected that you’d like it. I like it there too. My grandfather used to take me there often on vacation to learn and practice traditional brush calligraphy."
